My last weight loss journey; maybe

I was a large baby. If memories serves me correctly, I weighed 10 pounds at birth. Pictures of me show a normal child up until I hit puberty. I’ve never been a normal weight since. The lowest I’ve been in my adult life, I could wear a size 12 jeans. My heaviest, I wore a 22.

When I was at my heaviest, it broke my heart when the chart I was reading said, ‘morbidly obese’. Really? But I go and do. But that’s what the chart said.

Boredom is my biggest weakness. I am a boredom eater.

So today; 9-19-2023, I’m going to give myself one more honest try.

I’ve tried all the diets (within reason). I haven’t taken any medication or drank any shakes to loose weight. My doctor batted around Mounjaro. In all honesty, I’ve always been afraid of weight loss drugs.

Frozen. I freeze all the time. The office I work in is like a meat locker. It’s nothing to see me in long sleeves or wearing a sweater when others are burning into the ground. I talked to my doctor about this. He says some people are just wired that way. They are cold natured.

Any weight loss adventure I go on must stick to my frugal lifestyle. No expensive gym memberships or equipment. Food cost will go up. It has been my experience that the healthier you eat, the more food costs.

I’m at that age where fat sticks to a woman like burs stick to a dogs fur in the fall. This adventure will not be easy.

I weighed myself this morning. Fully dressed (no shoes).

More water.

More fruit & veggies.

Move more. The goals on my watch are whatever came preloaded.

So here’s to better health.
